Road construction in India is changing rapidly. We are looking at faster construction, roads for higher speed, stringent quality control and longer life of our roads. In such a scenario, this technique is all the more relevant in India because it provides a cost-effective and durable road maintenance solution, allowing for the preservation of existing road infrastructure and extending its lifespan. It is particularly valuable for areas with limited budgets, offering a quicker and less disruptive approach to road repairs compared to more extensive methods.
It does not require any plant establishment, number of haulage trucks, pavers, rollers, fuel, transportation, therefore, it is a sought-after treatment to preserve health of a pavement in a cost-effective manner.
Reduces life-cycle cost substantially compared to traditional resurfacing methods.
The mixing and laying is done in one process, hence it gives higher output.
Reduces raw material compared to traditional resurfacing methods, as it os cost effective as compared to the conventional Hot mix treatment.
It produces a smooth surface without disturbing the existing profile.
Demands less down time, and traffic can be resumed within one hour.
No damage is caused to existing road furniture or existing drainage.
There is no damage to the median or avenue plantations.
Microsurfacing is proven to improve roadway safety, lower greenhouse gas emissions and is more economical than waiting until rehabilitation is required.
